Dr. Doolittle

Now that we understand "the beginning", and how we came to be, let us study how we lost that perfect fellowship with my loving God:  Genesis 3.  This is the story of WHY we need salvation.  Adam and Eve were in perfect harmony with God.  Then, they took their focus off God and decided they would make their own rules and disobey Him.  The serpent spoke to Eve (yes, the serpent spoke!), and Eve coveted the forbidden fruit.  She wanted to be like God, not obey Him.  Fast forward to Deuteronomy 6, where God's tenth commandment is, "Thou shalt not covet your neighbor's".........  It is a killer!  We were created for God's pleasure, NOT ours!  He created us.  We owe our very existance to Him.   God made Adam and Eve clothes out of  "skins".  In other words, blood was shed to cover them.  Blood had to be shed to "cover" our sins, also.
